Always Mine: A Friends to Lovers Romance (Liam & Maddie, #1) (Roommate Duet Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Kennedy Fox (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

College parties, beer, and one-night stands—that was my life.

Now, I hunt criminals. Drinking and women are still included, though I can’t seem to forget the underage girl who almost gave me her virginity. I stopped it before it happened and kicked her out.

Years later, we’re reunited. She’s no longer underage but still equally off-limits. After ignoring her relentless advances, she wears me down. I only have so much willpower when she’s around, which is all the damn time now that we’re roommates. Just when my restraint starts to crumble, my poor choices finally catch up with me, putting us both in danger.

There’s no easy way to explain why I betrayed her, but I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if it means breaking her heart.


Always Mine is book 1 in the Liam & Maddie duet and must be read before Always Yours. Recommended for mature audiences only due to sensitive subject matter. This book contains violent acts, gambling addiction, blackmail, and mafia-related activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars The couple we've all been waiting for is finally here!!!❤❤

This amazing writing duo definitely saved the best couple for last! I have been waiting not-so-patiently for Liam and Maddie and absolutely everything about them exceeded my expectations!

Maddie is same quick-witted, sarcastic, sweet girl that we've gotten to know in the previous books, but we see a fragility to her in this installment that we haven't seen before: with Liam she has such a quiet vulnerability, and even though she tries to shake off his constant rejection with jokes and innuendos, but we see how much it hurts her that he won't let her in.. that he isn't open the possibility of how great they could be.

Liam, with all of his glorious bounty hunting self, is so amazing, and so head over heels for our girl .. Even if he won't admit it Maddie. They've always had such a strong connection, even when they met when she was just seventeen and lied about her age; the chemistry between the two of them is so palpable that you can feel it leaping off the page. He believes that he's not good enough for the amazing girl that's stolen his heart, so he keeps her at a distance. Between her being five years younger than him, plus the sister of Sophie and Lennon, AND with her being a virgin, he doesn't want to ruin her. He learned a long time ago that love doesn't last, that it doesn't exist, so he doesn't want to crush her heart just because he can't give her what she wants.

Through twists and turns that I didn't see coming, poor Liam ends up in a situation that causes him go break Maddies heart.. And his own. But when the truth finally comes to light, can they find a way to be with one another? Or are they doomed from the start?

GOSH, this book is an intense, emotion-filled ride. That cliffhanger, the heartbreak, the suspense, all of it was absolutely perfect! I'm hating that February is so far away because I'm just so impatient and want to know how they get their HEA, but goodness ... This is my new all time favorite book by this amazing writing duo!

If you can handle that torturous cliffhanger, I encourage you to read this amazing book as soon as you can! It is seriously such a beautiful book!! Infinite amount of stars!!

My heart has been slayed, completely and irrevocably slayed by Kennedy Fox!

Liam, Liam, Liam, You freaken hot, slightly stupid Hulk!

Liam and Maddie were introduced to us in Baby Mine, the first book in the Roommate Series and have been playing cat and mouse from the very beginning. I loved Liam and Maddie’s characters instantly and have been desperate for them to have there turn at happiness.

Maddie is the youngest, funniest and most outspoken of the Corrigan Sisters. She also happens to be my favourite! I loved Maddie from the first time she called Liam, Hulk. I loved that in Always Mine you learn so much more about what’s important to Maddie (Not just losing her virginity and having a drink!) and you get to experience her love and dedication to dance.

Liam stole my heart completely. He’s so sweet and protective and cares about Maddie and his friends so much. He’s a teddy bear wrapped up in Hulk muscles! For someone so smart and savvy he gets himself into a tight situation with no way out and almost looses Maddie and everyone else he cares about.

I wasn’t expecting a single thing that happened in Always Mine, I was captivated, surprised and desperate for answers! The plot of Always Mine felt just as exciting as reading Baby Mine and Baby Yours and moved at a steady pace and kept my attention from the first page. The character development was perfection, I loved seeing the relationship between Liam and Maddie develop with an insane amount of sexual chemistry and tension! Secrets and intrigue are a great way to keep me invested and entertained! I LOVE THEM!

Something I really love about this series is the cross overs and timeline. Kennedy Fox has incredible talent when it comes to writing essentially 3 separate stories that are almost running concurrently and keeping it relevant for each individual part of each story. I love reading about the same situations from 6 characters view, I learn something new and the story becomes so much more developed with each characters view.

Always Mine was a perfect introduction to Liam and Maddie’s story, it left me hanging with so many questions and I’m SO DESPERATE to gets my hands on Always Yours (and Liam)! I Can’t wait to see how this incredible series comes to a close!

I am at a loss for words.... I absolutely love Liam and Maddie but my heart is completely broken for them right now.

I cried alot... their story was a rollercoaster of emotions. I wish Liam was honest with everyone from the start. He has hurt so many people. I hope he can redeem himself with not only his friends but with Maddie. She is sweet and definitely deserves someone better then Liam... But her heart has always wanted and belonged to him...

I don't know how I'm going to make it waiting for the second book.

GAHH you ladies are amazing and I loved every bit of this book, even though I cried lol

I’ve been enjoying the duet series of these three sisters. The youngest sister Maddy is a bit of a fire cracker, I loved the intensity of Maddy trying so hard to reel Liam in and him trying to not give into temptation. The first book is a slow burn to begin with and ramps up towards the end to quite the crescendo!

This book is for those who enjoy a great romance - it’s about Maddy who has been waiting to be noticed and for Liam who is trying to stay away from his perfect match who’s been there the whole time!

That was a major, kindle throwing, gut churning, angst fest. I've loved all the duets in the series, this though, wow! This was flipping brilliant. Liam and Maddie's characters were great, we've had bits of their flirty banter through all the books and Maddie has loved Liam for four years. The humour and angst between these two was written so well. Liam gets himself into a tight spot, that's putting it lightly, but it leads to him having to break Maddies heart, when he returns from Vegas with a huge surprise in-store for his friends, Maddie is devasted. So was I😢😠 Things go from bad to worse leading up to a cliffhanger, grrr. Roll on February

Always Mine is book 1 in the duet and should definitely be read before book 2 Always Yours. I really enjoyed the story, and I think Liam and Maddie are great. I'm now looking forward to book 2. I'm desperate to find out what happens next!! Another great book in the Roommate Duet series.
